We made an interactive adventure game for Electric Sky where participants save a simulated society who’s running on a machine without enough memory. Here’s some art I made explaining the game:
The theme was Digital Frontier – see the Oregon Trail reference? 
Our simulated people are super sad that they have a data leak that is making them lethargic. 
This is what will happen if you don’t save them! 
This is how we save them! 
The people who will save you!
There was quite a complicated backstory. Basically, simulated people are plagued by a black hole in their world, a visual representation of the mechanical memory leak. Naturally, the Oregon Trail is involved as the theme of the festival is “The Digital Frontier.”
Your job (as a player) was to save the simulated people from their data leak. Here’s a couple of our kiosks below that gave the player their choose-your-own-adventure-like instructions. They flicked on like they were analog arc lights when they sensed you were near. Pretty cool if I may say so myself.
Most kiosks included sensors that detected your actions like pressure (see how long you can sit still here!) to detecting if players were able to save a stuffed animal from a tube. If you failed, you died of dysentery (Oregon Trail reference!) and were told about it via a laser writing it in the treeline.
We’re def light on the pictures from the event this year. I’m going to say that’s because we were in the moment!
